French Football journalist Nabil Djellit claims Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri is currently in London, amid links with a number of Premier League clubs.
West Ham, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been linked with the 26-year-old who scored 7 goals and made 9 assists last season catching the eye of some of Europe’s biggest sides in the process. Barcelona, Spurs and PSG were all linked with moves for Seri last summer with a move to the Spanish giant falling through at the last minute. Seri has spoken out on several occasions regarding his immense disappointment at his dream move to the Camp Nou falling through in such agonizing fashion, with Barca having instead opted to bring in Paulinho from Guangzhou Evergrande last summer, and Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool in January.
The midfielder is thought to have a release clause of 40 million Euros (£35m) and if signed by the Hammers would become the club’s record transfer signing.
He could have the effect on whatever team he plays for that N’golo Kante does, I suspect it is bigger fish than us that will win his signature but would love it if he did come, judging by our performance yesterday a defensive midfielder is still a high priority.
